Hi Mark,

Thanks for all of the detailed info.

I have never used a custom property for anything yet even though I have
seen many people mention them.  Looks like I will be learning now.

thanks again, it will probably save me a ton of time now that I don't need
to look for the problem anymore.

Hi JB,

BinaryEncode encodes data as binary data. BinaryDecode decodes binary data into something else, e.g. hex. You get an error because you are trying to encode data while indicating that you are using hex data, but you are using plain text (which you might assume to be binary).

Since you want to store your stack as non-binary in a field, you want to decode it, using

binaryDecode("h*",theBinaryData,myHexData)
put myHexData into fld id 1009

The reason why you're having problems is not that you're trying to transfer binary data, though. It is because you are trying to store binary data in a field. When you try to store binary data in a field and then retrieve it again, your data gets easily mixed up. If you store the data in a custom property instead of a field, it should work fine.

Hi Mark,

When I try the code below I get an error dialog.

on mouseUp
   put "Hello Mark" into theData
   put binaryencode("h*",theData) into dataEncoded
   put dataEncoded into fld id 1009
end mouseUp

Should I be able to put the encoded data in a field without
decoding it?  Any idea why this does not put something into
the field?

thanks,

Hi JB,

put binaryencode("h*",mySourceVar) into myDestVar
get binaryDecode("h*",myDestVar,mySourceVar)

What kind of data do you want to encode and what do you want to do with it?

The Rev Dictionary provides info about the BinaryEncode function and it mentions,

use the BinaryEncode function to encode one or more values as binary data.

Does this mean I can put a whole field into the BinaryEncode function and encode it
and if so does someone have an example of using a whole field?
